I have to admit the only reason I bought an Archos was because of
Rockbox. I had read about the awfull firmware and it would allow me to
tinker too. I would definatly consider getting an AV model if it was
'tinkerable'

2)I will not buy another Archos product and I will discourage everyone I

can from buying ANY Archos product if they continue to insult user code

development. Even their threats to you make me want to go back to a

Creative device, especially since they took the PlayCenter out of the

file transfer loop, hmmm...

"computer law is one of the most unfair, perverse, corporate

friendly/individual unfriendly thing ever dreamt up"

How else do you think Microsoft is allowed to undermine the cultural and

technological development by forcing the world to use its POS software?

They aren't around because their products are reliable and pleasant to

work with.
